One distinct comparison between Tom and Amanda lies in how both are unhappy with the present. A point of contrast would be in how they address it. It is clear that Tom and Amanda don't share much respect for one another by the end of the drama. Perhaps this is because they are so similar to one another. Both of them are really unhappy with their lives. Tom is unhappy with the life he leads: "Look!—I’ve got no thing, no single thing...in...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/compare-contrast-tom-amanda-glass-menagerie-481376Sun, 21 Jun 2015 15:41:29 PSTCompare and contrast Tom and Amanda in The Glass Menagerie.http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/compare-contrast-tom-amanda-glass-menagerie-481376

The question is very unclear with respect to the version or edition of Tennessee Williams' 1945 play The Glass Menagerie. What follows, therefore, is an attempt at responding to the student's question in a broader sense, but with reference to different program or "Playbill" covers that accompanied productions of the play from its infancy to the present. Williams' play deals with a troubled, somewhat dysfunctional family of three: Amanda...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-glass-figurines-cover-glass-menagerie-480404Mon, 1 Jun 2015 01:30:57 PSTWhat are the glass figurines on the cover of Tennessee Williams' The...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-glass-figurines-cover-glass-menagerie-480404

In Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie, one place in which Tom's character is significantly developed is during the quarrel between him and his mother in scene III. During this quarrel, we learn just how trapped Tom feels. As he expresses it, he has not one thing "no single thing-- ... [he] can call [his] own."What's more, he feels he slaves away at the shoe factory just to pay rent and provide for his mother and sister, which is why...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/regarding-tennessee-williams-glass-menagerie-tom-479245Tue, 12 May 2015 23:19:53 PSTIn Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie, Tom, the narrator of...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/regarding-tennessee-williams-glass-menagerie-tom-479245
In Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie, Tom, the narrator of the play, is considered to be the central character. How does Williams develop Tom's character in the play? How does Williams gradually reveal Tom's character by things he says or does or by how other characters relate to him?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/regarding-tennessee-williams-glass-menagerie-tom-479245#3May 12, 2015, 8:56 pm PSTLights are definitely used very symbolically in Tennessee Williams's...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/glass-menagerie-what-connection-between-lights-479087
Lights are definitely used very symbolically in Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie. Since the play is a "memory play," the whole set is dimly lit, as if lit by candlelight. For the most part, lights, particularly candlelight, symbolize longing for the past, since the past is merely seen by the characters as a glorified illusion. We can clearly see Williams's use of candlelight to symbolize the illusions of the past when Amanda, the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/glass-menagerie-what-connection-between-lights-479087Tue, 12 May 2015 03:50:07 PSTOn scene 7 of the play The Glass Menagerie we find the Wingfield's,...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/glass-menagerie-what-connection-between-lights-479087
On scene 7 of the play The Glass Menagerie we find the Wingfield's, Amanda, Tom, and Laura, hosting a dinner for Jim O'Connor; a former high school super star of whom Laura is quite fond, and for whom mother Amanda imposes upon Tom to bring to dinner in order to try to kindle a romance for Laura. It is interesting that, right as the lamp's "rose shades" cast upon the self-deprecating Laura a light that brought out her hidden beauty, the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/glass-menagerie-what-connection-between-lights-479087#4Mon, 11 May 2015 22:51:57 PSTInstead of Tom's realization what about Jim's realization and the...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/glass-menagerie-what-connection-between-lights-479087

Tennessee Williams' play, "The Glass Menagerie" is the story of a deeply flawed family, consisting of a mother Amanda Wingfield, who has been abandoned by her alcoholic husband, her emotionally frail and crippled daughter Laura, and her son Tom, the narrator of the play.
